health behaviors

Health behaviors are the actions people take that affect their well-being, such as eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol, managing stress, and getting regular medical check-ups. These behaviors influence the risk of developing illnesses or maintaining good health. Making positive health choices can prevent chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, while unhealthy habits may lead to health problems. Understanding and adopting healthy behaviors is essential for living well, improving quality of life, and reducing healthcare costs over time.
